Have you ever wondered how your favorite attractions came about? Who are the masterminds behind your home away from home? So many members of The Walt Disney Company have played a role in all aspects of Disney Parks. Disneyland opened in 1955, and after the groundbreaking theme Park took the country by storm, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, was next in line.

Since Disneyland’s opening, Disney has Parks worldwide, including Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo Disney Resort, and Shanghai Disneyland. Each Park is unique in their own respects yet still harbors the same classic attractions. Though some Parks have added a twist to the iconic rides, they are beloved nonetheless.

Disney Parks are known for their magic. The attractions that started that very magic include Pirates of the Caribbean, “its a small world”, Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, and Space Mountain, to name a few. But I pose the question of one simple word: how? I am sure I am not the only one who has gawked at Cinderella Castle, rode Big Thunder Mountain, or sat on Frozen Ever After and thought simply, how?
